Accountabilities: This role is within the Centre for Genomics Research. It is an opportunity to be part of ground-breaking research at the forefront of human multi-omics. This role will focus on developing cutting-edge methods focused on the analysis and integration of multi-omic data, including genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics from hundreds of thousands of ancestrally diverse human samples. You will be part of a dynamic team in CGR's multidisciplinary genomics research environment comprising bioinformaticians, genome scientists, software engineers, postdoctoral researchers, and disease area specialists. You will also work closely with specialists in translational science, drug discovery, pre-clinical modelling, and clinical development.
